Just been notified that we’re through to the finals for 8 categories in Dentistry Scotland Awards. V exciting. Finals being held at Gleneagles next month.

Special mention to our dental implant nurse (photographed here) who’s been named as a finalist in the Most Outstanding Individual category. Congratulations to every member of our team for their efforts – and well done to Kasia for her ‘outstanding’ performance!

We’ve selected our winner.
The name of our new clinic car will be…..’McCavity’
Suggested by Ross Wilson who receives a top of the range Philips Sonicare toothbrush for his creative input.
We’ve had great fun reading all your entries generated via our Facebook page and thank you very much indeed for the time you’ve taken. Look our for ‘McCavity’ on the road – give us a wave!

In response to the news about his name being successful Ross wrote…

“Thank you SO much. It has made my day hearing that. I was thinking of doing a Kate Winslet-style Oscar acceptance speech – you know the kind of thing that goes something like…. I thank you, my teeth thank you, my toothbrush holder thanks you. But we could be here all night.

So I’ll settle for this.

There was a young man called Ross, every day he remembered to floss, he won a prize from Phil, without any bill and never again had any tooth loss.

Our dental implant nurse Kasia has just returned from Birmingham where she was sharing her knowledge and expertise in lectures to other dental nurses with an interest in implantology nursing.

The lectures focused on theory and on practical sessions and aims to help those attending broaden their knowledge and understanding of the key role the dental implant nurse plays in a clinical setting.

Kasia does similar courses all over the UK and her skills have been recognised by one of the major dental implants companies which has enlisted her as a dental nurse mentor and trainer.
